Finding beds and catching bream... lots of pics

[olcaptain]

Yesterday I went "bed picking", fishing a wiggler on a 1/32 oz jighead, and also using "root beer float" color trout magnets tipped with a small piece of Berkley power wiggler when I ran out of worms. I caught a lot of big shellcracker, bluegill, and one fine redbreast - the first time I've ever caught one in this lake, I didn't know any were in there:

Thanks, Cap'n! Went back at it today. Caught a bunch, including an 11" 1.1 lb bull. Took a few home for supper.

Got to eyeball a couple of WRs bream first hand. Those are some some studs:

(Bunch of male shell crackers more worried about fight'n each other over territory than eat'n a cricket. Even laid a cricket on one's back and he never paid one bit of attention.
I'll be waiting for the big females to show up.)
Now, now, we've talked about that before. You know Shellcrackers won't bite a Cricket as good, they like worms.

Hence the pinks I'm pick'n up in the a.m. along with more bugs.
